SturgisPodmore 0 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Perhaps this has been asked before. I was wondering, I know we all listen to film music (at least I think so ), but what, if any, other kinds of music/artists/albums/songs do you enjoy? Two of my favorite bands are Green Day and Phantom Planet, and also some selections by Maroon 5, The Killers, Blink 182, and many various others (I'm probably making some of you throw up, but that's the truth).If I like a song, I . . . acquire . . . it () and put it on the good ol' iPod, or, as I affectionetly call mine, the Pizz (iPod --> iPizz --> Pizz). Anyways, basically if I like a song, I might just get that one or buy the album after finding out a bit about it, so I have many single songs by various artists. I steer clear of rap and country for sure, gear more towards the pop/rock genre (real "pop," not like Britney Spears-type nastiness, although I won't say I don't have a few guilty pleasures). I also like some "older" music like The Beatles. How about you guys?~Sturgis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I like "alternative rock," I guess I might be called. Blink 182, Phantom Planet, Sum 41, Green Day, etc....music that's more than just ear-piercing screaming and yelling, and actually has some emotion behind it. And I avoid rap like the plague (you can't spell crap without rap). I love The Beatles, and I definitely have some guilty pleasures from my younger days when shallow pop was all the rage.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewdog1 50 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Three of my favorite bands: Stone Temple Pilots, REM, Foo Fighters.I fully believe STP is one of the greatest rock bands of all time. 5 albums, all 5 different in style. A lot of their music fell out of the mainstream and hence have not received the recognition they should. Weiland's drug problems haven't helped much either. The Deleo brothers are the real genious behind STP. Hopefully one day they will reunite.Rant over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melange 446 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I listen to so many other types of music. You name it. Classical,Pop,Rock,Heavy Rock,Pop,Blues,Jazz,Son Cubano,Mambo,Salsa,World Music from all over,70's and 80's synth,Instrumental,Early Music,Country,Celtic,Trance,Techno,the list goes on and on. I just love music, totally. No matter what it is, i can usually find something wonderful in all kinds of music. I don't think there is one type of music that i cannot find something interesting within. And yes, that has even be known to extend to Rap on some occasions. Anything, apart from that Film Music nonsense. Grates on me, that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McClane 1 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I like almost every kind of music. From punk to rap, from rock like to metal. I like fast weird stuff like bluegrass, those banjo lines played at insane speed are crazy. Accidently it happens to like some catchy pop song on MTV, but I try to avoid that as much as possible. Only thing I really hate is techno, dance, trance and all that crap produced with computer softwares, althought that's not even music. Music is played by musical instruments, and there's no instruments in techno, so it's not even music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,687 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Being on a uni network where very little film scores are available, I was forced to explore my non film music side last term, and my 'Other' folder has expanded from about 10 songs to nearly 400.As a result I've got into Alanis Morissette, Michael Jackson (don't start), Coldplay, a load of songs associated with or featured in various movies, and some late 80's/early 90's stuff - a bit of nostalgia.

Incanus 5,714 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 World - Celtic and Ancient GreekThat Ancient Greek music is actually impossible to reconstruct with accuracy so it must only a very hypothetical interpretation of what the musicians think Ancient Greek music must have sounded like since there is little or no evidence of their music left as there is of Roman music (notation etc.).

He has the SYNTH. He probably dialed Ancient Roman music in to the Great Machine's music generator and Gladiator popped out few minutes later. The SYNTH got probably confused with Mars Bringer of War by Holst and the actual Roman god and there you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
